As always super cute, quick read, the kids are on an adventure to create a beautiful heartfelt garden for a neighbor. 

Garden Expectations 🥰
1. A garden should always have a party in it
2. Keep calm and garden on
3. Happiness is spending a day in the garden with friends
4. Music makes a garden bloom
5. Being in a garden makes me want to dance

The story is basically about these kids that wanted to make their neightbour, Mr jeet who lives on top of them feel better and they know how much Mr jeet and Mrs jeet loves gardens so they decided to transform a piece of land to like a garden paradise for them all to enjoy and I like it was a very good wholesome book and its like basically the book version of a show or a movie you might watch on like Disney channel or something and it's very wholesome. I think my favourite part is definitely when hyacinth mentioned anne of the green gables which is adapted into a Netflix show called Anne with an e which is such an amazing show too.
